Deadpool 2

Silly sequel manages the impossible, resurrecting and raising the ridiculousness of the former film without stepping over the coke-line that the former had nearly fully snorted. Invincible franchise flick pratfalls into a series of alarmingly serious moments and yet never lets the irreverent tone drown in the pool of death.

It

Brilliant child stars infuse Scary 8 with as much charm as an early Spielberg film, effectively making It E.T. but with a murderous clown substItuted for a stranded alien. Stranger King’s weakest things are heavy-handed VFX beats, Mickey Moused score, and clichéd clowning around. But those kids, really nailed it!

Atomic Blonde

Jane Wick is half bombshell, half monster as she tears through irrelevant baddies and tedious dialog in equal parts. Political Tinkerings, Watchmen music, Birdman continuity & Curiosa sex-scenes can’t heat up this chilly ice bath of action. About as subtle and tasteless as straight vodka, though not nearly as neat.
